If you are using dried shiitake mushrooms, rehydrate them in water for 30 minutes. Use hot water if you want to make the rehydration process quicker.
Cut each shiitake mushroom into four pieces.
If using rehydrated shiitake mushrooms, squeeze the mushrooms to take the water out.
Heat a pan to medium heat. Once the pan is heated, pour some sesame oil and cook chopped garlic.
Thinly slice green onions and chilis. Then stir-fry the onions and chilis together with garlic.
Then pour the ingredients for soy sauce and date syrup into the pan and mix well.
Put the shiitake mushrooms inside the pan, and mix well to coat all the shiitake mushrooms with the sauce evenly.
When everything is well-cooked, finish it off with some toasted sesame seeds and freshly ground pepper to taste.
